We use @Schedule in production on a 3.1.1 instance without problems. Keep in mind if your schedule method or methods it calls throws an uncaught exception more then once during the lifetime of the web app the container will unscheduled it. It will remain unscheduled and thus not fire until your restart GF, simply redeploying the app will not cause it to rescheduled.
